cutting and fitting for me was a positive. I have used some of the other stick on products (Dynamat specifically) and while they also work very well, I wanted to do both the cockpit and the trunk areas, and didn’t really want to fit, peel and stick that much. After a little investigation, decided to use Lizard Skin for this build as well. Late last year I bought the Mk4 referenced above several months after the original owner picked it up at Factory Five. Granted, this was a small block build, so clearances are reasonable. Sound was well controlled and heat in the footboxes has never been an issue. I was impressed with how it looked, how durable it was, and how it worked once I had the car finished and on the road. The builder, a professional fabricator, had already applied Lizard Skin to the complete cockpit area. I purchased my Mk3 several years ago as a roller. Especially something is needed in the footbox areas since the exhaust headers are basically wrapped around them. 040 aluminum panels do not isolate sound or heat very well if left plain. One thing we can agree on, I think, is that something is required. And there is a wide variation in cost and application methods. There are lots of choices out there for sound and heat insulation for our builds. Sorry it's a little long, but hopefully enough details to be helpful. This thread is intended to give my experience with Lizard Skin, and not a debate about what product is better. I received a suggestion to do a more detailed thread on just this subject, so here goes. I posted a brief description and some pictures in my build thread here: Yesterday I wrapped up the Lizard Skin application in my Mk4 build.
